Johnston said the January 21, 2019 lunar eclipse will be visible throughout all of the US and will be a supermoon, though it won't be a blue moon.

Eclipsed super moons aren't all that rare, but the total eclipse of a Blue Moon hasn't occurred since March 31, 1866.

So, what are a lunar eclipse, blue moon and supermoon?

During totality, when the moon is fully in shadow, the moon's northern limb will pass just south of the center of the Earth's shadow, darkening the moon's northern half more than its southern half. The peak of the blood moon eclipse is at about 6:30 a.m. local time, and the Moon will set shortly after 7 a.m.

The second full moon of a calendar month is always referred to as a blue moon. Generally, there is only one full moon in a calendar month. It's the first of two blue moons in 2018. A blue moon doesn't mean that the moon appears in blue colour, instead, it's a name given for its rarity. The last contact will happen at 9.38pm, when the moon is released from the penumbra of the Earth, signalling the end of the total lunar eclipse.Not only will the moon be in direct alignment with the Sun and at the closest point to the Earth, but it will also coincide with a total eclipse. "We think of them lasting a few days because they remain large in the sky, but there's an astronomical definition that fixes the full moon in time". Supermoon happens every 14 lunar months, and it appears for 3 months in a row.

"Unfortunately, eclipse viewing will be more challenging in the Eastern time zone".

"Because the moon's orbit is slightly tilted, most of the time the moon goes above or below the shadow of the Earth", Australian Astronomical Observatory astronomer Fred Watson explained in an Australia Geography interview.

The grand finale of events is a lunar eclipse.
